Similar to the Halloween event, we will have a new resource in the game: Christmas presents!

These presents can be traded, and are displayed in the warehouse, just like the Pumpkins. You can find these presents by completing the daily quests and by sending out your Explorers on the treasure search.

The Christmas presents can be traded for our special Christmas items in the shop!

Keep your eyes out for a little present now and again in the mail!

Name Change:
Beer will now be renamed in mulled wine!

Incredible, this looks absolutely awesome!! Loving the recycling factory and new adventures in particular. My only issue is I'm quickly running out of room to even put buildings on my island any more so the decorations are definitely a no go for me, altho I really like the snowman :(
Nice to see Daily quests/tasks as it gives us something to compete with, i really wish we had an overview for some kind of rankings to make the game more competitive overall. Right now the top guild ranks are just who has the most members, maybe taking average level of the members and ranking guilds that way :P Anyways...

Thanks for the update and for keeping our interest, great work as usual from Ubisoft :)

Will the adventure changes happen before this Christmas update?

YAY! It looks awesome.

very nice! looking forward to Dec 6th! Thank you for all the hard work!

Awesome!! You guys and gals rock! Thanks for the efforts.

Looks great! Can't wait till it starts!

I am SO loving this!!

Sorry for trolling, but 'daily quests'?? Also are we not getting 'cookie' buffs that increase production 3x for 32 hours?

sweet looking keep up the great job
